tension= weight held up= weight chain below+ weight bolder tension= (790+600)g That is the tension at the top, and of course, the tension at the bottom is 790g, so tension varies on the length. If it breaks, it is at the top. Here, tension cannot be greater than 3*600*g. Is it?

isnt v=sqrt(tension) but f*lambda= v= sqrt(tension). So leaving the lambda constant, then f is proportional to sqrt tension 230/220= sqrt (tension/orgtension) square both sides, solve for tension, then find the percent increase.

Each cable holds one half the weight. verticalforceleft=verticalforceright=24g/2*cosTheta*tension but CosTheta=2/3.5 solve for tension

physics help please
the tension on the string has to be equal to the weight hanging down. force on the puck equals tension. force=m v^2/r solve for v

PHYSICSSSSS helpppp please
If they are sliding at the same rate, tension is zero. If they are not sliding, then there is tension.
